SEA GIRT, NJ USA -- HEALTHCARE UPDATE NEWS SERVICE™ -- MAY 24, 2017: AllianceChicago, a collaboration founded by four federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), helped to develop the social determinants of health (SDOH) assessment tool, PRAPARE (Protocol for Responding to and Assessing Patient Assets, Risks and Experiences) and helped build the tool into the electronic health records (EHRs) to enable 38 FQHCs with the capabilities to collect SDOH data to improve care at the individual and population level.

For the past 18 months, AllianceChicago has worked with the FQHCs in their network to deploy the PRAPARE tool consistent with each center's patient population, staff resources and in-house and community support services.

During Assessing Social Determinants of Health: Collecting and Responding to Data in the Primary Care Setting, a 45-minute webinar on June 1st at 1:30 p.m. Eastern, Andrew Hamilton, RN, BSN, MS, chief informatics officer/deputy director, AllianceChicago, will share the key learnings from AllianceChicago's SDOH work.
